H � EMERGENCY CALLS
Never rely solely upon your wireless phone for
essential communications (e.g., medical emergen-
cies), if it can be avoided, since a wireless phone
requires a complex combination of radio signals,
relay stations and landline networks for its
operation. Consequently, emergency calls may not
always be possible under all conditions on all wire-
less phone systems. Your wireless phone, however,
may sometimes be the only available means of
communication at the scene of an accident. When
making an emergency call, always give the recipi-
ent all necessary information as accurately as pos-
sible. Never terminate an emergency call until you
have received clearance to do so.
FCC ENHANCED 911 (E911) RULES
Background
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
requires wireless carriers to transmit specific lati-
tude and longitude location (Automatic Location
Identification = ALI) information as well as “911”
calls to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs)
to identify the location of the caller in case of
emergency.
Generally, the rules require that carriers identify
an E911 caller’s location within 50 meters of the
actual location for 67 percent of calls and within
150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent
of calls.
Super Slice’s ALI Capability.
The Super Slice is an ALI-capable phone equipped
with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver
supporting a satellite-based GPS ALI-capable net-
work to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC
requirements is dependent on: (a) the use of
digital technology by the wireless network; (b) GPS
satellite signals being able to reach the handset
(such transmissions do not always work indoors,
for example) ; and (c) handset signals reaching
wireless “base stations” (atmospheric and environ-
mental conditions may cause variations in handset
receiving signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is
subject, in part, to system constraints within the
wireless network to which the E911 signal is trans-
mitted and over which UTStarcom has no control.
Finally, customers are advised that the Super Slice
ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only.
This feature allows you to place an emergency call
even if your phone is in “Phone Lock” or “Restrict”
modewhen you dial the preprogrammed emer-
gency number, 911, #911, or *911. It also operates
in out-of-service areas.
The phone maintains emergency mode until you
press after disconnecting an emergency call. In
emergency call mode, the phone can receive an
incoming call from any available system.
To call “911” in “Phone Lock” or “Restrict” mode.
1. Enter
,
2. Press
. “911” and “Emergency” will appear
on the screen.
